New thread

Spotty 5am sounds awful you have my sympathies also.

WL hope you enjoyed your chippy, apparently everyone where i live had the same idea it was really busy tonight. Although i have been sent home early again as my boss is ignoring me still. 3 shifts now she has barely spoken to me

Oh no hales is that after the airport thing? She must know that you really didn't do it on purpose and have felt awful about it.
I'm finally in bed after a long and trying day. I'm usually ok with dm being here but I've struggled today - I guess because I've wanted some space but couldn't get any. I really didn't want to talk about what time I got home etc. I'm 38 ffs!

I'm honestly not sure, i haven't done anything else i can think of, but you never know.

WL i can definitely see why you find that annoying. My dad use to be the same.

WL you have my huge sympathies, I can imagine you really need a break and some space right now can you and DH get a free afternoon or evening together soon?

hales can you talk to your boss and tell her how you feel? Maybe she thinks she is doing you a favour by letting you go home early?

spotty I remember the link WL is talking about, it said to restrict naps and push bed time back a little, but that you had to do it for three days.
I hope DS sorts it out soon and sleeps longer! We complain when we have to get up before 7, but we do know we're actually really lucky.

I guess I'm also feeling a bit more as I'm having to lie a bit which is horrid but I also feel slightly resentful that I can't be honest in my own home. I've haven't been feeling well and went to the dr but didn't want dm to worry that it was because of the extra work so kept it quiet, then blood tests, the follow up dr apt and another in 2 weeks. I'm iron deficient which dr thinks is due to heavy old lady periods so I'm having a coil fitted in 2 weeks. Dr thinks within 6 months it will stop my periods altogether - awesome!!

Oh poor you WL hope the coil helps you out. Have they put you on iron tablets?

Yep.

WL fingers crossed it sorts you out. I was put on a double dose of the pill which stopped them (touch wood!). And I understand the need for space. Is there any other family that could take over for an evening/ day so that you (and maybe DH!) could spend some time alone together?

Hales hope things get sorted with your boss.

DD has been ok. A few questions but nothing too difficult.

Thanks gang. I'm feeling quite guilty for feeling grumpy (I think I'm mostly hiding it though). One of my DBS comes most weeks for a day when I'm at work which gives DH a break, and sometimes on a weekend day but it's all here so in a way worse as it's more people in my house, more mess and coffee cups etc but at least he does understand why I feel a bit grumpy sometimes.
DH and I are both off for half term and are taking the dds away for the last weekend (dm going to stay with a friend) so we'll get a little bit of space.
beasty I'm glad dd is doing ok. I can't imagine how you all must feel.

beasty was your double dose intended to stop your periods? I'll be thrilled not to have them anymore but am a bit concerned about the hormones making me go a bit doo lally!

When I went on the single dose at my 6 week check I wasn't having periods. About 6 months ago (I think, would be about 18 months after giving birth) I started what turned into a 12 week long period. Because I was breastfeeding they were limited as to what they could do, but they tried a double dose to see if that stopped the bleeding. It has, so I'm on that for now.

They won't let me have the pill here while BF. I think it is forbidden they are rather ridiculous about some things. And you have to pay for the pill!!

I'm rubbish at taking the pill, it's really not a reliable form of contraception for me maybe if they made them chewable like my vitamin d tablets (I'm good at taking those as they're so tasty!).

WL do you know which coil you're going for? I know loads of people who have had nothing but good things to say about them.

spotty I'll be having a mirena. Went to the park this morning with a friend who has one and has been v happy with it.

I'm rubbish at taking the pill as well, luckily my periods are ok so we use condoms for contraception. WL i do feel for you though my DM has awful periods that are very heavy. They limit what she can do day to day.

I was ignored again in work on Saturday so i asked if i had done anything wrong and got twhe one word answer of no This is despite her talking normally to the other staff.

How was everyones weekend? We went out for a family meal for my nans birthday and i was so proud of H's behaviour

Hales how immature, I'd tell her to stick her job (obviously I know it's not that simple!).

WL I had that one and once the bleeding had settled down I didn't have any side effects, was a bit uncomfortable having it put in but more of a weird sensation than pain.

I think Ds is getting his back teeth he's not a happy bunny and has such a runny nose. He also keeps saying his ear hurts.

I've got so much going on again this year, good things, but I really can't afford most of it

Any chance of a few votes for mumsnet's own www.woollyhugs.com please? The prize is 1kg of style craft yarn - the stuff that's sent to crafter's to make blankets for eg babies in hospital, children in Bangladesh with cancer - every month for a year.

Hales is she The Boss or is there someone you can raise a grievance with for her bullying?

Spotty just take it one event at a time and your money worries will probably disappear then. Also hide things in your nappy bag to make it cheaper

Delad voted for you.

My boss does this occasionally its just the 1st time shes done it to me. My mum thinks that because i've confronted her she will be fine on my next shift.

I am in a bad mood today i'm hoping its my AF arriving which is over a week late now but 2 negative tests mean it is due. I've told DP to take Dsd out to the shop to give me 2 minutes peace so i can just wallow in my mood.

Put some white pants on Hales, always works for me

haha Spotty normally sitting on the loo to do a pregnancy test is enough to make it arrive.

Think I'm about to come on too hales high 5 for the virtual synching!
Took dm and dmil to a spa for the morning today, was lovely and dmil has now got all 3 dds for a sleepover! Lie in here we come!

returning high 5 WL I hope you have a lovely lie in tomorrow.

wlmum you deserve it! Although you want to be there for your mum understandable you're going to feel the strain as affects all of you. & must feel diff not seeing dh but guess it's the only way for childcare to work.

beasty such a sweet looking girl, very sad. Think the men have been charged with dangerous driving. How did your dd take it?

hales if you've apologised hard to do much more apart from maybe offer to pay her back for taxi but guess she may have been giving you petrol money anyway.

I've got flu like symptoms and feel awful. Supposed to be the dc's first swimming lesson today but don't think I'm well enough to go in with dd & need to make sure well enough for work tomorrow. Feel very guilty though. My lovely mum has taken them out for a few hours so can rest and recover a bit.

wlmum I'm getting the mirena too for the same: very heavy, irregular & painful periods. Know it's the best option for the symptoms but worries me that contraceptive wise not as good as the pill. Although like you spotty I'm rubbish at remembering to take it which clearly makes it useless lol.

They suggested the mirena to me after A was born but so soon post section I rather baulked at the idea! Am thankfully okay with pills so sticking with the mini for now (can't take the normal while bf I think.)

A has picked upconjunctivitis from O.am I right in thinking you can treat it with breastmilk in little babies?
